My mother and I will miss seeing Francis at Jones-Harrison, where he was always ready with a sweet smile and kind words. Such a lovely gentleman. Being from Chicago ourselves and my mother and father having frequented the Symphony Orchestra during his tenure, we found it interesting to cross his path in Minneapolis. Our condolences to his family.

I studied with Mr. Akos while I was in the Civic Orchestra for a period of time. He was a great teacher and violinist. I was very fortunate to have had an opportunity to study with him.

I am sorry to hear of Francis's passing. My father Frank Crisafulli was a colleague of Francis for many years and I believe rode down to Orchestra Hall with Francis on a number of occasions. Some years after Frank's passing, I remember running into Francis and Mrs. Akos at Le Peep and exchanging nice memories with them. A very lovely couple to say the least.
Sincerely,
Mike Crisafulli

Francis Akos was my cousin. We exchanged letters for several years. He was a kind, gentle man, whose violin could express feelings no words can. His music touched your heart. He had a long rich life. He brought up his daughters with an appreciation of the world of music. I will miss him. May he rest in peace.

I have wonderful memories of sitting at Orchestra Hall, Akos spotting me and giving me a nod of his head and a tap of his bow. He was a lovely man.
